Why would ANYONE want to "fix" how users have input, and edited MIDI for 25 yrs. I've been using CW since DOS 5.0, and editing in the Event List has ALWAYS been the same CUZ IT IS INTUITIVE! You click on the value, and change it! What could be simpler? So, while you could have been making things better, or easier, or rolled a new product out sooner, you HAD to go screwing around with something that had NOTHING wrong with it. I've tried for hours to find a NORMAL way to input, and edit simple MIDI parts; whether on Piano Roll, Step Seq, or Event List. I don't know how it happened, but I was finally able to make some values change buy sliding my mouse up and down. NOT FUN!! Further, and this is REALLY STUPID! You've changed from the MIDI protocol of 128 steps to 100 so now there isn't any 1-to-1 ratio of knowing how loud a velocity is.
Just swallow your pride, and admit you screwed up, and at least offer old, and VERY LOYAL users the option to do things the LOGICAL "Classic" way, not your cutesy, tootsey "New & Improved" way.
